With expectations for lower equity returns, yields below historic levels, spikes in volatility, and record inflation – the naïve 60/40 portfolio won’t be sufficient for advisors in the next 10-years. Tony Davidow, President and Founder of T. Davidow Consulting, explores the reasons why advisors need an alternative set of tools to achieve client goals in the current market environment. This session will cover the challenges facing advisors and investors, the role and use of alternative investments, and the opportunities for asset managers in the private markets & hedge fund space.
